Professional calibration of TVs and projectors

–– I’d been putting off calibrating my projector because I thought my picture was already good enough and didn’t need it...... After Maciek’s calibration I saw with my own eyes how much picture quality I’d been missing. Colours and shades of grey, white and black took on a whole new dimension. When we switched back to the old picture I’d been watching and compared it with the calibrated one, the first things that jumped out at me were the washed-out colours and the bluish tint. The difference in the shades of the grass and trees was also very clear: before calibration one shade practically dominated, and afterwards it suddenly turned out that different areas of the lawn have different shades...;-) To sum up, calibration is really worth it if you care about natural colours and want to get your picture 100% right... ;-)

–– Hello - since I swapped my Epson EH-TW5000 for a Sony VPL-HW30, I decided to invite Maciek over and see what could be squeezed out of this equipment. I must admit that only today did I read this whole thread. Both the 2D and 3D modes were calibrated, the whole calibration took about 5 hours, and I think that with my very limited knowledge of the subject I wouldn’t have been up to the task, even with high-end calibration equipment. During the calibration I started to worry that I preferred the picture before the adjustments, but after switching between the factory settings and the calibrated ones it turned out I was wrong. My old picture really was oversaturated, less detailed and genuinely unnatural. Even though my eyes aren’t what they used to be (I’ll be 50 soon), I can see the difference, and it’s significant.

–– Hello, I’ll join the discussion too. The guys from SkalibrujTV - Mr Koper, to be exact - calibrated my LG OLED B6J TV exactly 3 days ago. I consider their work very professional. The TV took on natural colours, which was visible immediately after calibration. You can see the difference even on regular channels - I used to have a Panasonic plasma, and I compare this picture to it as well. As you can see from this whole thread, some people like an artificial, cold, oversaturated picture. Personally, I can’t imagine watching this type of TV without calibration (even though I spent two weeks adjusting it every day, I couldn’t get the effect I got after calibration). I highly recommend them and say hi to the guys from SkalibrujTV. P.S. You’re welcome to do my car detailing too, because that was done by some unprofessional company - holograms everywhere :).

–– I’ve also just had my 46HX850 calibrated by Maciej Koper, and I’m very pleasantly surprised by the results. Until now I thought my picture was set up reasonably well by eye (I’d spent a lot of time adjusting it since day one), so I didn’t feel much need for a professional calibration. As it turned out, though, my unit had a strong pink tint in the white balance, which only Maciej’s calibration managed to detect and nicely correct (without proper measurements there’s no chance of getting it right). Other parameters and colours improved too: there’s now more detail in the shadows and all colours look naturally better - you can see it nicely, e.g. in the shades of the grass and its shadows, when switching between the scene with and without calibration. If you want to get the most out of your screen, don’t hesitate, because the improvement is visible right away. The picture is now right - beautiful and natural, without any colour cast, exactly as it should be. I no longer have the problem I had until now, when whatever I watched, something always seemed off and I kept making adjustments. Without Maciej’s know-how and equipment, there’s no way to set it up properly yourself. Once again, I recommend him and warmly thank Maciej for his time.
